    When Opposition Calls for “Free” and “Fair” Elections to Guarantee “Democracy” in Venezuela, What Do They Mean?

    Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by […]

    Venezuela After January 3: A Nation Standing in the Storm

    On our recent delegation to Venezuela, one quote echoed again and again — a warning written nearly two centuries ago by Simón Bolívar in 1829: “The United States appears destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.” For many Venezuelans, that line no longer feels like history. It feels like […]

  • The Propaganda Assault: A Tale of Two Venezuela(n)s

    After the Trump administration illegally kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on January 3rd, 2026, we saw two distinct and divergent responses from Venezuelans. On the one hand, the Venezuelan diaspora, especially in the United States, celebrated President Maduro’s kidnapping and bombing of their birth country. They congregated […]

  • Venezuela after the Abduction of President Maduro

    The kidnapping of a sitting head of state marks a grave escalation in US-Venezuela relations. By seizing Venezuela’s constitutional president, Washington signaled both its disregard for international law and its confidence that it would face little immediate consequence. The response within the US political establishment to the attack on Venezuela has been striking. Without the […]

  • Laura Dogu and Washington’s Regime-Change Playbook: Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela

    Laura Dogu, newly appointed US envoy to Venezuela, is described by the Los Angeles Times as an appropriate choice because she “navigated crises” in Nicaragua and Honduras during periods of “social and political volatility.” What the LA Times fails to add is that it was precisely Dogu’s job to create crisis and volatility in both […]

  • The US Propaganda Campaign to Smear Venezuela’s New President Delcy Rodriguez

    The US “regime change” operation against Venezuela has been defeated. The Bolivarian Revolution remains firmly in power. Now, Washington’s campaign against the Chavistas attempts to paint Interim President Delcy Rodriguez as compromising on the heritage of Presidents Nicolas Maduro and Hugo Chavez. The Wall Street Journal ran an article Venezuelan Regime’s New Strategy: Appease Trump […]

  • Blow to Trump’s Venezuela Plan after Maduro’s Deputy Contradicts US President

    Donald Trump’s plan to smoothly run Venezuela after attacking the sovereign country and capturing its president with his wife has faced a major setback. This was after the Venezuelan armed forces and Nicolas Maduro’s deputy condemned the US invasion of their country and capturing of their president and the First Lady. Rifat Jawaid digs deeper […]

  • Who’s the Dictator? Venezuela’s Maduro or Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

    Washington brands Nicolás Maduro a dictator, celebrates Volodymyr Zelenskyy as democratic, and sponsors María Corina Machado to achieve regime change in Venezuela rather than promote genuine democracy. Within the narrow spectrum of establishment punditry, “dictator” functions as a term of opprobrium reserved for governments Washington designates as enemies. By this measure, Maduro is cast as […]

  • Trump Commands Venezuela’s Heavens Closed

    US President Trump ordered the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela “closed in its entirety” on November 29. Yet the US has as much legal and moral authority to shutter the skies over Venezuela as the Venezuelans have to close the putting greens at Mar-a-Lago. Yes, that’s ridiculous – but not any more so than Washington’s […]
